    Does anyone still teach percussion in assessment?

    SHGR posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Hi, I've taught beginning ADN students physical assessment for several terms now. We had not been teaching percussion. I learned percussion many years ago in my direct-entry BSN program, but rarely...

    Send video tape to state boards

    SHGR replied to Curious1234's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You stopped to make a video when a patient was yelling he couldn't breathe? Surely you are not serious. This might be a troll post, but I'll respond anyway. Maybe do some self-reflection, how you...

    PhD with nursing education focus or EdD?

    SHGR posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I'm a nurse educator (ADN students) and I love it. I've made peace with not heading toward a role as an advanced clinician (a whole nother story...) and started my journey toward a PhD in nursing....

    SHGR replied to shan_elle's topic in Emergency

    I think you are being a bit harsh, MMJ. The OP has thanked other members for their advice and stated she understands the opportunity being presented to her- though upset initially. I get it, we want...

    Research Critique

    SHGR replied to drsrn's topic in General Nursing

    Right, I was thinking the same thing, maybe that it is more of a QI project. Without seeing the article, I wonder if the "interview" was more of the kind of interview a case manager would do when...

    Forced to resign after 7 weeks

    SHGR replied to porkdumpling's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My answer here is based on my experiences as a clinical instructor in the last semester before graduation. So when my students finish with me, they are ready to be precepted as new grad GN/RNs. I...

    DNP vs MSN

    SHGR replied to susie6785's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The recommendation for DNP by 2020 was just that. It is not a requirement or a mandate. However, many programs converted from MSN to DNP in anticipation. The rumor persists and there was never an...

    DNP vs MSN

    SHGR replied to susie6785's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Most nurse educators are MSN-prepared. Academia seems to be the only place where you would actually get paid more to have a doctorate, but why not find out whether you enjoy teaching before taking...

    What Do You Love About Nursing?

    SHGR replied to Allison007's topic in General Nursing

    One of the best things about nursing was that it made me a better person. More mature, because I had to grow up pretty quick. Not that I was immature or bad before that, but I had to get better...

    Order that says "Don't call MD for pain meds"?

    SHGR replied to Summers3's topic in General Nursing

    You are correct that APAP is not an NSAID, I was just making a point why specifically APAP would have been ordered and not

    Order that says "Don't call MD for pain meds"?

    SHGR replied to Summers3's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. I broke my foot a couple years ago and it just was not that painful even though it was a comminuted fracture. Ice and elevation really worked wonders. Obviously another patient's experience...

    Why do online courses cost so much? I'm baffled.

    SHGR posted a topic in General Students

    I have taken a few online courses at the graduate level, and they have varied widely in structure and quality. One thing really baffles me though. Typically an online course costs more than a...

    Why do online courses cost so much? I'm baffled.

    SHGR replied to SHGR's topic in General Students

    This is fascinating. The online version took more of your time as an instructor? How so? the online discussion? Learning the tech? I found BlackBoard to be a non-intuitive interface; using it for...

    How did you not know that you would hate the drive ahead of time? Commute length, time, and stress are usually a huge consideration before taking a new job. It bothers some more than others. Why...

    SHGR replied to FuturePN's topic in General Students

    OP, you had the right attitude toward your med error- freak out and realize what a big deal it was. That could have been a sentinel event. However this could be a blessing in disguise. If pt had HS...

    Unsolicited Advice From A Preceptor

    SHGR replied to Izzy11's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    In my MSN program it was so difficult for any of us to find preceptors. It was easier for me as a CNS/educator student than those who were in the FNP track, for sure, but still difficult to find...

    One of the things I loved about the unit I was a clinical instructor on, was that I was part of "we" from day one. All of my student groups were we. That meant answering call lights and such too- it...
